The room was cozy and clean. The beds were comfortable, the weather was perfect for leaving the balcony door open and sleeping while listening to the creek sounds. It was delightful to have a creek right outside of the balcony door. The housekeeping staff and the front desk staff were so friendly, helpful and kind. I would love to stay here again!
